Ada and Ethel
The ''Ada and Ethel'' was a wooden schooner that was wrecked southeast of Seal Rocks, New South Wales on 26 October 1887.
== Ship description and construction ==
On Saturday 9 January 1886, Mr. Roderick of Eagleton launched a new vessel built to the order of Messrs. Captain C. T. Messell and E. Davies, of Sydney.〔(Country News ), ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 12 January 1886.〕 The baptismal ceremony was performed with champagne by Miss Ada Messell, Captain Messell's daughter. The vessel was named after Ada and her infant sister Ethel May, who died approximately 12 months later.〔(Funerals ), ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 19 February 1887.〕
The ''Ada and Ethel'' was then taken to Sydney and rigged as a fore-and-aft schooner, intended for the coasting trade. Her dimensions were long, beam, and depth, which gave her a registered tonnage of 73 tons.〔(Exports ), ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 29 May 1886.〕 She was substantially built of the best colonial hardwood, coppered, and copper-fastened. She was a sister boat to the ''Julian'', which was launched about eight months prior, and belonged to the same firm.
The ''Ada and Ethel'' entered Sydney Heads at half-past eleven on the night of 19 February 1886 in tow of the steamer ''Malua'' and was brought up in Pyrmont Bight to have her mast and other fittings installed. The passage down from Williams River was made in 10 hours.〔(Exports ), ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 20 February 1886.〕
